So it has been six months since I have posted on here. I would apologize, but I do not think that anyone actually reads this or missed my posts. I am going to try to post more because I really do enjoy just getting things about life off of my chest. It makes me feel better, especially the things that I do not necessarily want to tell anybody about. So time to catch you up on what has happened in my life in the past six months.
1) I finished my hardest semester of school. I took 20 credits of Education classes and I am still shocked I survived. It was stressful and crazy, but it also showed me the amazing people I have in my life. It also showed me what I can accomplish when I set my mind to it. That being said this means that I only have one semester of classes left and then one semester of student teaching.
2) I took a test that I have to pass to get my teaching license. The most stressful part about it is waiting for my scores (so hopefully you will see a celebration post soon).
3) I had new experiences with my friends and we got a lot better at driving into the city.
4) I started at a new location for my summer job. So I have been working to make it as successful as possible. For the parade and carnival we put on our theme is African Safari, so let me know if you have any ideas.
5) I turned 21!!! Which was exciting although since my semester was so stressful it was a pretty chill event. I just went out and got my free margarita and then went to bed so I could wake up for class in the morning.
6) My brother's senior year basketball and baseball season both ended at the state tournament. They were both amazing experiences to be a part of and it was extremely exciting.
Those are the huge things that have happened to me. I will try to post more frequently if anybody does read this. If you do read I would love to receive a comment or email from you :)

That College Feeling
Sorry, it has been a month since I have posted. Work was exhausting and all my focus was going there. Now I am done with my summer job before I start up classes and my school job. You can expect an update about my classes after I go to them.
I am moving in Saturday, so that is four days away (I need to pack)! This will be my third year (Junior year) of college. I have heard a lot of people online and in person giving advice to people on how to choose the school that is for them. Everyone talks about the feeling that you will have when you visit the campus and you will know that it is the right school for you. I am writing this post to know you might want to think twice before this feeling dictates the next four years (and possibly beyond) of your life.
Now you might think I am bitter because I did not have this feeling so I think it doesn't exist. That is false I had this feeling and it was amazing. I toured a small private college and it was everything I wanted in my life. The campus was small and I could see myself there easily. It was close enough to home and that made me comfortable. Everyone there made me feel like a person and not a number. I found the perfect school for me and I was ready to go. I accepted my spot and told the other colleges on my list I was no longer interested in going there I knew where I was going.
Now you are probably thinking wait you had the feeling isn't this post over. The school that was perfect for me and gave me that feeling is NOT the school I ended up at. I ended up at another private college that is not to far away from home but further than the original school. It is also bigger so while I do not completely feel like just a number you definitely get a bigger feeling from this school. You might be wondering why I gave up my "perfect" school for a different one. That is because my "perfect" school did not quite have the exact major I wanted. They had one that was close but not perfect. So I decide to pick going somewhere that had the perfect major over going somewhere that had almost the right major but felt like the perfect school to me.
This is not a story where I tell you that half way through I realized I made a mistake but it is to late to transfer now. This post is to tell you even though I did not pick the college that gave me that feeling I could not imagine my life any other way. I am studying my perfect major. My current campus has the perfect view. It also has my perfect people (of course I know that no people are perfect). At college I have met friends that I know I will have for the rest of my life. I could not imagine the last two year or the many more years in the future with out them.
I wrote this post to tell you to think things through and do not base your college decision only on that feeling. You can go to a school that never gave you that feeling and still be more happy than you ever imagined.
